Flickering stars of summer nights
Green grass fields bind them to earth.
Fly and join the immensity of stars in the sky
Burn as bright as those far off relatives.

I kept a star captive in a jar next to my heart
For months my steady companion.
Me the admirer and also the jailer
Licuriciul se sufocă, fără să știu

To see you go burns a hole in my heart
Yet watching your light fulfilled is peace.
I’ll be right here on or under the earth
Longing to see my firefly flicker next to me.
